PACER Updates Website

Ambrogi writes,

A new design rolled out yesterday for the website of the U.S. Courts Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) program, the site’s first major update in a decade.

The site, which can be found at pacer.uscourts.gov, provides information about the PACER service and is the portal to PACER applications. It is run by the Administrative Office (AO) of the U.S. Courts.

[Editor’s note 6/30/20: As there has been some confusion about this, let me make clear that the update is only to the program’s informational website and is not an update of the core PACER platform used to search and retrieve federal court docket records.]

The AO said that it undertook the upgrade in response to feedback from users and as part of the judiciary’s ongoing effort to improve public access. The updated website also will allow the AO to collect additional analytical data to inform future enhancements, it said.
